The author suggests the need for national IPR policies to build in vigilance against deliberate or accidental misappropriation of traditional knowledge by patentees. Case studies of a few scientifically capable developing countries like India, China, and Republic of Korea, have been taken to illustrate the approaches taken by them in restructuring their IPR systems during the last few decades. According to the author, these countries will have to evolve pragmatic policy models that would comprehensively address the integration of IPR into their national systems for continual and balanced economic growth. </smarttagtype></smarttagtype></smarttagtype></smarttagtype> <br/> <br/>Page(s): 24-33 http://nopr.niscair.res.in/handle/123456789/4725 Title: <smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"><smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> <b style="">Geographical Indications under TRIPS Agreement and Legal Framework in India: Part I</b> </smarttagtype></smarttagtype> <br/> <br/>Authors: Srivastava, Suresh C <br/> <br/>Abstract: <smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="country-region"><smarttagtype namespaceuri="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" name="place"> Geographical indication is one of the instruments of protecting the quality, reputation or other character of goods essentially attributable to their geographical origin.
